Courage

(album: Man Up - 2011)

I walk with the confidence of ten men
Only cause my confidence is in Him
Courageous men, ya we go in
Homie we go in, ya we go in

[Lecrae:]
I'm a truth carrier, barbarian
Hands to the plow how they bury me no fear in me

Years ago I be up in a dim lit hole screaming (Woah!)
As the reefer blow and the liquor pour

On the line of white unafraid to fight stand proud
For a crowd of the devil's children talking loud

Then Pow the Spirit gave birth to a child
Now you don't know me and you don't know my style

Courageous as I make the sacrifice live selfless
Follow Christ through the dark valley where the death is

Reject sin kill the lion stomp around Jericho
Ram's horn blow, serpent's head crush death blow

I walk with the confidence of ten men
Only cause my confidence is in Him
Courageous men ya we go in
Homie we go in ya we go in

[Trip Lee:]
They want me under that system hunting me
Good life hood life just like all them other cats

They want me scared man I'm gonna snap
They want me following the lot of them
But I ain't hearing of none of that

Running back, look I ain't gotta follow fools
And I ain't gotta follow crews that don't like to follow rules

Ain't gotta try to follow all them hundred dollar dudes
Naw bruh that ain't my motto and I know I gotta choose

They tell me to rebel and well I ain't enthused
By opposing my creator cause I know that I would lose

Just cause I'm a dude don't mean I need glocks
I think they got the flu cause they think they need shots

We stop tryna chase them we much rather know Him
We can't see the sun (Son) then a storm finna blow in

We tryna be courageous tryna let His word soak in
We got that free admission we bout to go in

I walk with the confidence of ten men
Only cause my confidence is in Him
Courageous men ya we go in
Homie we go in ya we go in

[Sho Baraka:]
All creation will be shaken and hearts will be racin
They'll be waiting for the judge an His opening statement

They show courage in the wrong ways
Before I move to Atlanta I knew some real braves

These cowards run the world, I guess they legs are tired
So now they sit in the throne that the Lord desired

We trust in our hero that's how we know we're saved
Ya He even gives us strength on our weak days

It's a zoo out there, cheetahs driven Jaguars
And most rappers are animals, lying lions in bars

They claim they run the game, they got that money mayne
But my Bible's eternal I got forever changed

I tried not to judge I was defended once
Until I got booked and saw what the sentence was

I find courage in the Spirit and I got along
I'm not scared of Mick Jagger's rolling with stones

I walk with the confidence of ten men
Only cause my confidence is in Him
Courageous men ya we go in
Homie we go in ya we go in
